Hello Kalle,

There are two drivers: pearl_qtnfmac for QSR10G and topaz_qtnfmac for
QSR1000. Firmware for QSR1000 chips has a higher priority since those
devices have been in production for quite a while now and there are
multiple products available. From the engineering perspective we are
ready to release firmware and SDK for QSR1000/QSR2000 devices. Now we
are waiting for the ACK from legal team. This was delayed by the
acquisition of Quantenna by On Semiconductor.  

As for the latest QSR10G chips, we are not yet ready to release SDK.
The main reason is that platform is under active development.

Regards,
Sergey
